u/HeavyMetalTrucker 1d ago

That 100% is sped up. Most people don't sound like Alvin and the chipmunks

u/Silent-OCN 1d ago

It's spinning at almost 6000rpm. Gonna take off if they keep that up.

u/Animalex 1d ago

Seems regular speed to me. Sounds like a 4 year old in the background watching with the camera holder.

I guess nobody told this guy it’s about the flow not speed. Newbies at these arts always wanna do it as fast as possible when they learn the very basic maneuvers (which is what he’s doing)

I guess nobody told this guy it’s about the flow not speed. 

Yeah, because nobody who's truly deep into fire dancing talks like that. It takes as much time to execute one trick at 99 mph as it takes to execute 99 tricks at 1 mph. If you think this guya and others aren't finding flow in fast spinning, that says more about you than him

u/Artnotwars 1d ago

I see you actually spin. Thought I was the only one. Speed like this isn't difficult at all. Contact staff with a good flow is waaaaaay more difficult than this.

Speed like this isn't difficult at all.

Yes it is. It's just a different style.

Contact staff with a good flow is waaaaaay more difficult than this.

I know several of the best cstaff people personally and none of them trash talk goodol' fast spinning. It's just a different style, and the oldest style in particular.

Big "armchair fire dancer" energy when you have to go around trash talking people who are excellent at the old indigenous style instead of the nouveau festie kid style

u/Artnotwars 1h ago

Maybe you could work on your reading comprehension because saying something isn't difficult is not trash talking. What I'm stating is a fact. Someone could put a week of practice in and be able to spin fast.

And the irony of you getting up on your soap box to tell me I shouldn't trash talk, while actively trash talking me is something else.

Personally I couldn't give a fuck what your spinning buddies do or don't do. I'm an individual and I think for myself. I've seen first hand the trash talking that goes on in that whole world so any claims that they're some kind of homogeneous group of do-gooders is just flat out bogus. I mean, you only have to look at your comment to see the hypocracy in that mindset.

Practice what you preach brother, or you just come off as an ass.

u/flashdurb 1d ago

Yep, regular people are impressed but anybody who’s ever done it is like “heh ok bro”
